Winston Rasmussen

Winston Rasmussen, Har-Ber (AR), Class of 2103:  
Rasmussen is a physically strong 6-foot, 200-pound catcher who showed quick, concise footwork behind the dish.  He has a solid base and demonstrated quick, clean transfers with a pop time range of 2.07 – 2.12 and was clocked at 78 mph from the crouch.  Offensively, Rasmussen has a balanced setup and a strong lower half, using his strength to create some bat whip through the zone.  He took a short and explosive approach to the baseball and displayed good gap-to-gap power with his swing.

Nick Jones

Nick Jones, Park Hill Hs, Class of 2013: Jones is a 5-foot-9, 140-pound RHP who showed the ability to keep the ball down in the zone with all three pitches. The submarine pitcher showed a 71-72 mph fastball with late arm side run. Jones also showed a 65-68 mph breaking ball and a 65-67 mph change up. During the live batting practice session, Jones managed to keep hitters off balance with his ability to hit his spots and change speeds.

Burke Echelmeier

Burke Echelmeier, Fulton HS, Class of 2012:The lanky 6-foot, 155-pound Echelmeier showed to be effective behind the plate and on the mound. As a catcher, Echelmeier showed good receiving skills with a stiff wrist and fundamental blocking abilities. His top pop time was a 2.12. At the plate, Echelmeier has a quite set up with a smooth load, quick hands, and a level line drive producing swing. On the mound, the RHP Echelmeier showed a sharp curveball (67-71) and a sharp, late breaking slider, which has potential to be his best pitch if thrown with a bit more consistency. He also showed a 77-78 mph fastball and 69-71 mph change up with some sink.

Andrew Curry

Andrew Curry, Santa Fe HS, Class of 2013: Curry has a long, extremely projectable 6-foot-4, 185-pound athletic frame, one that has the potential to develop into a high-level body type as he physically develops. A two way player, Curry impressed in the outfield moving fluidly to the ball, and gets on top of his throws well, resulting in a strong (80 mph), accurate arm. Offensively, the left handed hitting Curry shows good gap-to-gap power, and would drive the ball harder with a more consistent lower half. On the mound, Curry's arm slot produced fastballs 76-78 mph with some late arm side run. As Curry fills out, look for a spike in velocity. Andrew has tremendous upside ad potential to be a big impact player.
